You applicants must meet age or income limits for affordable housing. Some programs also consider disabilities and other factors.
3. Hold Interviews
Before you receive a Section 8 voucher or public housing, you'll have an eligibility interview with the authority. They will verify your financial and personal details.
4. Formulate Waiting Lists When Necessary
Due to the high demand for public housing, Section 8 voucher, rent assistance, and other relatively insufficient supply, in most areas, housing authorities need to formulate waiting lists and priority is given to those in greatest need.
